it can be better

Well in my opinion it would be a better place, but that is my opinion. In reality we need to respect the beliefs or non beliefs of others, no matter if different than ours. I do have a problem with the extreme Muslims who have an agenda to wipe out all non Muslims. I think they are in the minority, as I believe the majority of Muslims would prefer peace. The wording on your question is confusing, I hope my answer reflected what you intended to ask.

Pastor Billy says: what do I think, I think we lead by example!
If the Muslims are in the majority they should lead peace by their everyday actions, as should Jews in Palestine. The Christians tend to be a minority today in much of the Middle East especially the Holy Land and they get the worst treatment. These Christians are also prodominately Catholics or Oriental (Eastern Orthodox) Church members and not American style Protestants who for most part also create a hostile environment for them with their literature and satelite transmissions into areas shared with Muslims.
I highly suspect the Saudis who are funding extremists.
Peace must start with the leadership we have a failed leadership throughout the region.

Those people have been fighting since the children of Abraham first entered the promice land. Scripture says these people will always fight. Personally, we are mixed in with a civil war we should have never been in. The Bible says there will be no peace in the middle east--maybe a cease fire for a time. When Jesus returns, the wars will end.

Christians,mostly Orthodox and Catholic, are persecuted in some ME places like Saudi Arabia and are oppressed and occasionally murdered in others places like Egypt and are discrimminated against in most other parts of the ME.
Many places in the ME used to have Christian majoritiesbut like other religious minorities many or most have fled from Islamist rule or social discrimmination or lack of human rights -style democracy

If most people in the Middle East were Christian, the region would be much more peaceful. Of course, almost anything that takes the place of Islam, from atheism to liberalism to Buddhism to Zoroastrianism would be much better for people of that region in terms of living in peace and breathing the free air.

If you mean Christian faith, there are Christian's there now. I don't think we should try to convert anyone there if they already have beliefs along other lines. Freedom of Religion is what we should all strive for.

Christian? Can your question make any less sense?
It would be peaceful because everyone would think alike but that doesnt stop you from asking the reverse question, that is, what do you think if Islam took over Europe and the U.S.

they're probably poor and uneducated enough to buy into that nonsense.
